A level playing field

Well, if not a level playing field, then level hips and shoulders...
The osteopath discovered my left hip is way higher than my right and my left shoulder is way lower than my right. It was quite a marked difference - and a little unnerving and embarrassing really.
But, after a session of manipulation which was curiously enjoyable despite the pain, I seem to be well on the way to being far more level headed. (See what I did there)
It explains why I've liked running on a camber which drops off to the left - it was my body crying out for levelisation
So, with all that sorted there are no excuses for not running like the wind and becoming one of those irritiating people who live to run and get all twitchy when they can't. Are there?

More spending

Spending, this time, is on an osteopath to get rid of the niggles - the niggling lower back pain, the niggling shoulder pain.
If it works, it's money well spent.
I know there'll be an element of me having to do stretches and exercises at home, ones which I expect I would get from going to yoga more often, but sometimes by simply paying someone to tell you to do something, it makes it a gazillion times more likely that you'll do it.
That is the theory...
